no but I do visit a friend there a couple of times a year, last time I stayed in the premier inn in gateshead, but generally I pass by, why ?

I very rarely ride these days since having son no2.
I think I managed about 500 miles on the VRap between this MOT and the last one, the SV got considerably more than that as Peg used her for commuting for a short time.

These days I have other priorities that keep me out of the saddle which is understandable.
The miles I ride these days are quality, not quantity. I've been and done the commute in the snow and ice, I've got the tshirt for having a bike as the only form as transport, sure I miss the rideouts, but these days I pick and choose when I decide to take pleasure in a little 'me time' and in recent times its been certainly seen that being out of the saddle doesn't necessarily make you rusty

about 15 k , mostly commuting / work related , have managed a couple of bike weekends and off to Scotland next week so another 1000 then

Cost of petrol stopping pleasure miles at the moment

I have. I flew from Stansted into Newcastle to buy my Yamaha Thunderace from a friend called Colin who lives in Washington, and rode it home stopping at Squires on the trip. That was 2003 if I recall correctly.

About 3500. Used to click up around 9-10k pa but not any more. My SV is a 2001 and has 75000 on it.

Just wondering as a guy bought an XJ a few years ago and p/x'ed it 3 years later with 90K on it

wasn't me, but good lad, I have friends from Plymouth to Peterhead, when you're not confined by time and you have the promise of a decent home cooked meal and somewhere to crash for the night, it's a true pleasure riding the backroads all day getting there.

Cheers Mark.
